# Pro Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours in the kitchen when it actually takes twenty minutes, which means you can pull it together before guests arrive and still look like a culinary genius.
  • The honey-lime dip is so simple but transforms even mediocre grocery store fruit into something people actually want to eat and remember.
  • No cooking required means no stress, no heat in the kitchen during summer, and zero dishes beyond what you're already using.
02 -
  • Prep the dip first and refrigerate it while you're cutting fruit, because cold dip tastes brighter and more refreshing than room-temperature yogurt.
  • Cut your melons right before serving if possible, because they start releasing their moisture and looking tired after sitting too long.
03 -
  • Buy your melons two days before you need them if they're not quite ripe, then let them sit on the counter where they'll finish developing their sweetness and aroma.
  • The honey-lime dip is so good that you'll find yourself making it for other things—crackers, cakes, or just eating it with a spoon when no one's looking.
